What to expect
You'll start on the sand with a chat about rip currents, how to position yourself on the board, and which waves are rideable. Once in the water, the instructor stays close—helping you time your paddle, guiding your pop-up, and reading the swell with you. Early sessions focus on basics: lying flat, catching whitewater, standing without toppling. As you progress, you'll chase green waves and work on holding a line. Expect to get worked by the ocean. You'll swallow salt water, miss sets, and paddle back out again. That's surfing.
Good to know
Bring your own towel and sunscreen; neither is provided. The beach is accessible by local transport if you don't have a scooter. Not suitable if you have spinal issues, are pregnant, or have heart concerns. Water fitness varies—just let your instructor know what you can manage.
